Bill Burr | Lame Songs That Are Good 

The joker with Bill's laughter is perfection

I can relate to exactly what Bill is saying at the end. When I was 14, my friends and I would mock Ice Ice Baby. We would constantly point to Vanilla Ice as everything wrong with everything. When Jim Carrey lampooned him on In Living Color, we thought it was the funniest thing ever. Yes, at 14 years old, I considered Vanilla Ice to be a symbol of fake corporate bullshit. At 47 years old, that song just reminds me of being 14. It comes on the radio, and I crank it up, and I smile while I rap along to the 1/3 of the lyrics I know.

Poor Wilmer Valderrama. My wife watches NCIS, the guy plays a tough cop with a tough back story, but I come into the room and all I can think is FEZ!!!

"Then all of a sudden he was getting out of a bathtub naked and I was like, eeww... wtf is this?" 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Duran Duran. Now I like them. Especially the bass. Ridiculous.

WHEN I WAS GROWING UP & WHEN I WAS PERFORMING IN FOR BANDS IN THE 80S, I WOULD NEVER ADMIT THAT I LIKED DURAN DURAN AND OTHER SONGS QUESTIONABLE TO A METALHEAD. BUT DURAN DURAN ORDINARY LIFE SLAVES ME EVERYTIME I HEAR IT. I LOVE DURAN DURAN

Growing up in the 90’s that was always the prevailing attitude, "that song’s gay, it’s only cool if it’s loud, angry, and the bands don’t care about fashion." Realized that kind of music just made me depressed. It was the best decision in my life to stop caring about what other’s thought about the music I listen to. That music can be fun, and even make you want to dance. These days I get down to all of that Soft Rock, Disco, Funk and New Wave. What matters is how the music makes you feel. So much of life is depressing, don’t need that in my music, it can actually help you get through the tough times if you let it.

I've always liked The Bangles ever since "Walk Like An Egyptian". Before I even knew who Susanna Hoffs was 😍

I liked pop in the 80's and I got so much grief for it. They were calling me gay while they blasted Judas Priest. Great times

What sucks is damn near every Culture Club song has badass bass lines.

Bill is so right at the end. There are ao many songs i hated hearing 3 dozen times a day between 10-20 years ago and now when i hear them on the radio i not only keep listening but I'll sing along the 1/4 of the lyrics that i still memorized via proxy lol.

I thought that WAS Bill Burr in Simply Red.

“Fuckin” boy George rocks”😂😂

Th joker clip with the laugh is so perfect. He does laugh like Mark Hamill's joker there.

Steve Perry was a casting call hire. The band's management insisted on a different sound. Journey's founding members were in Santana's band and they were about jamming, and they weren't selling records.They said they were not happy with it until they noticed thousands of people started lighting their Bics during a slow song that was getting heavy radio play. Money kicked in, and they were then fine with their new corporate sound.

All the tapes Marge grabbed out of the clearance bin are actually awesome!

Tommy Tutone and Greg Kihn along with The Knack and The Romantics , and early Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers and a thousand other guitar driven skinny tie bands would fall together loosely under the category of Power Pop. It was an important part of the post punk / new wave movement in the UK in the late 70s early 80s . Bram Tchaikovsky and early Nick Lowe would be fine examples. Loud , chimey guitars, hooks and memorable , singable choruses. Early Beatles and British invasion influences in the songwriting, along Spector girl group pop affectations in the melodies and vocal harmonies .

Bill talking about how great culture club me

Thanks, Bill;
